[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beep834:
I soft bricked my phone I think. I have samsung vibrant sgh-t959. I flashed a rom over voodoo and its just in a bootloop. I get into recovery and dont know what to do. I cant odin back to stock because my phone isnt in debugging mode. Is there a way to enable debugging mode or a file I can put on my sd to fix this? Please HELP!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneal9:
You don't need debugging mode, you need download mode. Unplug your USB cable and take out your battery for 5-10 seconds. Put you battery back in and then while holding volume up+down, plug in your USB cable. Keep holding vol up+down until you see the yellow triangle with digger android. Now you are in Download Mode and you can use Odin to flash back to stock JFD.

Hey movieaddict is the Hercules better than gs2? I have t mobile too was sad to see that were not getting a sg2. Hercules seems the exact same besides its 1.2 ghz processor. Bigger screen which is cool.

Sorry to dirty up this thread with that question
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
i wouldnt say its better and i wouldnt say its worse either its a beast of a phone. but its the best were gonna get compared to the sgs2 from tmobile.

[Nook Color General] pan0k:
Is there a post on how to root, install roms? Was looking into getting a Nook Color, just want to see how simple it is to put in Froyo or Gingerbread or Honeycomb.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] EpicFail236:
It depends on exactly what you want to put on your device, and how complex you want it to be, but for the most part, doing something like CM7 is as simple as downloading a disk image (CWM 3.0.0.6) and a zip (CM7 build), burning it onto a SD card, putting it into your nook and using the recovery to burn the zip to your device. I was able to fix mine up the first time in like twenty minutes. The other nice thing about this device also is that, even if you really screw it up, to where it can't boot, theres always a way to get it to load *something* to where you can fix any issues you may have. Even at its most screwed up, it doesn't take longer than an hour or two to fix.

Look HERE for tutorials to get pretty much anything installed. I recommend the Cyanogenmod Tutorials.
[Nook Color General] Eddog4DROID:
There are so many options with this thing (Stock, Froyo, Gingerbread, HC, install on the SD or not, overclock) it would be nice if there was some kind of traceable diagram!
[Nook Color General] pan0k:
Thanks for reply. I was looking at the gtablet and it has like a faq. Looking at the Nook Color, it seems to be alot easier to root and install android.

Unless you're a registered beta tester, then you're using a leaked warez version of the app. It's very unstable and has a number of issues, don't expect much help.

If you are a beta tester, then contact SPB and ask them for help.
[Android Apps and Games] syrenz:
@Jazux: I had the same issue, that's why I stopped using it. Not sure about any solution.
[Android Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
If you had this app legitimately, you would be asking this in the SPB beta forum.

Hello, I helped my friend root his phone, all went well. now we were looking for a new rom, any rom that is not the stock rom will work. He has the CELLCOM hero not sprint. Does anyone know where we can find a stable rom that will work with CELLCOM.

thanks

again CELLCOM lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 808Bill:

Froyo 2.2.2 port for Huawei U8120.

Maybe it will work on Huawei U8100/U8110 series, but for now it is focused on U8120.

So I dont know what behavior has on U8100 etc.

I must say a big thanks to Tom_G for his awesome work, especially for his froyo port on pulse.Without his work and his posts

on modaco forum, I will not be able to accomplish this.

kalt kaffe's 2.6.29 kernel.

Android 2.2.2 from aosp with some codeaurora changes.

JIT enabled.

Working:

RIL

Audio

GPS

Bluetooth

Wifi

SD card

Sensors

TSCalibration from codeaurora(still the app needs some improvements.For now use a stick or pen when you calibrate the screen)

Not working/bugs:

camera

broken layout on dialer

sdcard cannot be mounted in pc

Its still under development.This is not a finished rom and its not fully tested.

Probably it has problems that I have not yet encountered.So I would not suggest you to try it,

except if you have some experience and you want to help.

I have tried to make it as plain and simple as it gets.No google apps, no bootanimation etc.When all bugs are fixed then I will include them or I will post

my rom.But there are guys that are more expert in rom cooking than me.

Here is a zip with already compiled image files if someone wants to try it and post any bugs/fixes that have found.I have also uploaded here gapps if someone wants them(gmail,market etc)

Code: https://github.com/tas0s

Device tree: https://github.com/tas0s/android_device_huawei_u8120

Try it at your own risk.

Im not responsible for any damage that this may cause.

v.1 initial build
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
How to build it

:

- Install git and gpg (gnupg).

- Download repo - http://source.android.com/source/git-repo.html

$ mkdir android

$ cd android

$ repo init -u https://github.com/tas0s/platform_manifest.git

$ repo sync

- Extract necessary binaries

Some compiled code from the official eclair roms is re-used in froyo. Because some of this code is not opensources I cannot included in the git repository.

The files can be extracted from any u8120 eclair rom.

Place the rom zip in the android directory an rename it to u8120_update.zip

navigate to /device/huawei/u8120:

cd device/huawei/u8120

Then execute from the android directory

$sh device/huawei/u8120/unzip_files.sh

else you can extract them from a working u8120 phone with an eclair rom (check that adb is enabled)

$device/huawei/u8120/extract_files.sh

- Building the system

Once thats done you can start compiling.

Follow the aosp instructions on setting up the build environment. - http://source.android.com/source/download.html

After the environment is setup.

$ cd android

$ source build/envsetup.sh

$ lunch

Select the device u8120.

$ make

I recommend using multiple threads for make if you have a multi core/processor system. By default make will use

1 thread (-j1), set it to use 2*NumberOfCPUsAvailable (so on my dual core -j4). Reducing the number of threads used will reduce the impact on

system performance while the build is running.

The output will be image files in {buildroot}/out/target/product/u8120/. Flash with fastboot.

$ fastboot flash boot out/target/product/u8120/boot.img

$ fastboot flash system out/target/product/u8120/system.img

$ fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/u8120/userdata.img

$ fastboot reboot

For some reason the generated boot.img fails to boot.Maybe I have something wrong about kernel base etc in the BoardConfig.mk.

For now just use the ramdisk.img and the provided kernel and pack it with dsixda's kitchen or with the huawei-u8100 tools that have been posted on the forum.

Then just use fastboot as stated above.

A question about camera problem, only video or all features?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
The camera fails after a few secs.When an image appears in the preview window.

I have read that the the way that android handles camera has changed in froyo.In cyanogen they are using a libcamera2 (just libcamera with a few changes I think so it can work with the new framework).

As you can see in the BoardConfig.mk I have already include the libcamera2 statements but not the lib :P

When I manage to get some free time I would try the libcamera2.Maybe until the end of the week or sooner.

Hi can you tell me on wich kernel it runs?

the 2.6.32 or2.6.29?

and if wiifi is completly fixed no crashes sleep works mac adress?

thanks

calibration fixed at this repo?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
Πατριωτάκι δεν είναι για καθημερινή χρήση ακόμα.Γιαυτό δεν έχω βγάλει και έτοιμη rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
@Shiftok:

The calibration is integrated in the framework etc but it has some small issues.

As I say in the first post, it needs improvement.

@Cedric123:

Im using 2.6.29 kernel.The wifi works normally.If I remember right and MAC address.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
ah okey

does this work?

i extract boot.img

put my own zImage in it

repack boot.img

start Phone?

i rly want my own kernel in the ROM with my overclock funtion adn all my +kalt+kaffes optimizations
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
The kernel Im using is kalt kaffe's kernel.So I think that if you just replace the kernel and the kernel modules in /system/lib/modules you will be fine.

Im uploading now a zip with the compiled images.

It has the problems I mention in the first post etc.

Just an observation.If the calibration isnt correct the screen is always on landscape mode :P Propably because it gets wrong screen dimensions.So if you see something like that, calibrate your screen with the TSCalibration app.

When im done with the camera, I will fix the calibration bugs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joilaroi:
Hi. Im testing your rom.

I cannot mount the sdcard on computer. when i press to activate usb storage it does nothing in computer.

EDIT - i cant install anything because i dont have a file explorer to see the sdcard files. can you please add one or make an .img with the stock apps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
Thank you very much for the feedback joilaroi.I have updated the first post with the sdcard bug.I tried myself and you are right.I will try to fix it.

As I know the stock android froyo hasnt any file manager/explorer.Maybe we can get it from cyanogens.

For now, you can do this.Flash the gapps update that I have in the first post,setup market etc and download a file manager from the market(ex.astro file explorer).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joilaroi:
thanks. its what i am doing. if i find anything i will give feedback

EDIT - Cant install superuser and have permissions. it downloads su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip to sdcard but its corrupted. maybe its better if its already on .img

Im getting more MFLOPS with 633Mhz in this rom than with 691Mhz with the other kernel. its now with 4.45 MFLOPS vs 4.1MFLOPS. Nice :)

Do you know where i can find su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
From the tct rls4?

cuz the tct rls 4c had a camera problem too..........

I see you still have keep wifi alive app in ROM included

is this needed or not?(so wifi is not fully working?)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
From the tct rls4d.In eclair camera was working.

I didnt understand that about wifi alive app..What app?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
aww sry was looking in the wrong ROM

i had a couple questions.

1.have you used the tct rls4d kernel?modified?

2.how about the RAMDISK
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
1.I didnt modified anything on the kernel.Just the kalt kaffe's kernel with the two modules(tun.ko & ramswap.ko)

2.What about it?The ramdisk is generated through the compilation procedure.The only things that I had take from the tcd rom(or any eclair rom) is the kernel,the kernel modules and some proprietary files(you cant see which are in the extract-files.sh or unzip-files.sh on github)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
SO its overclocked and the only bugs are

calibration what can be fixed with tscalibration

and sd mount ing can be fixed with card reader

after testing.

1. cant connect to any wifi router

2. seems laggy

3.calibration is not bad after ts calibrate
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
to be more precise i would say that

the only bugs found until now are

camera bug,

sdcard mount via pc.

Still I havent tested any FM radio application(propably it will fail,I think that it needs some declarations in BoardConfig.mk - compiling now), the tscalibration app needs improvements - sometimes it behaves strangely and with recalibration it fixes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
How can i connect to wifi?

I got it

I got a mac filter and the mac adress is not the right one so i cant connect........

it seems very laggy you know why??

and plz give the red button(end call) his normal funtion back i get sick of keep pressing back back back back back back back back back back back back
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
Its a engineering build.That means that adb is prenabled,debug messages etc also.Maybe because of that is luggy.

I will set my pc to make an user build(the opposite of engineering) in the night and I will upload it in the morning just to check if we get any performance.

Hmm I didnt use the red button like this and I didnt noticed it.I always hold back key pressed and it gets me to the homescreen(im using launcher pro).To be honest,I think that the "press red key to lock" is more convenient than the power button :P

So another small bug that it needs to be fixed.Thanx!

About the mac address, you mean that the displayed mac address is not the actually mac address? Thats strange.I think that I saw in modaco forum,in the cm6 pulse port thread(maybe in the last page),a link about an app that can set the mac address.You can check it until we cant found a fix for the mac address.

A question from me now, to anyone who knows:P

Did you have an idea why the dialer's layout (it belongs to Contacts application) is so f@%ed up?I think that when others begin to ship roms they can replace it with the huawei one,but im curious.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
You can change the function of the End Button in the Android settings.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joilaroi:
Hi. beside the red button, the calibration always needs to be done after a phone restart.

Im now getting 4.81 MFLOPS with 710 Mhz. the same as Eclair with JIT

EDIT - the galery is a bit strange too. sometimes it shuts down or shows images in a deformed way
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cedric123:
Better than anryls version its 1 mflop lower than that

WIFI OK (mac need fix but WPA ok)

apn need fix

GPS OK

Dpad OK (leds need fix)

calibration OK need calibrate with pen

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

Or I need to downrade to 1.5?

and I realy need to use $ repo sync ? Only project sync not available?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
If I remember right it was giving me errors with java 1.6 and I downgraded to 1.5.

But you can keep both versions and change the active one by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable and using the alternatives --config java etc.Thats what I have done (Fedora 14).

repo sync is the suggested method.I havent use so much repo,github etc(only for this project) so may Im wrong.

The bad thing is that these days Im a little busy with my job and my thesis and I havent find time to work on the froyo port :s

So if anyone else wants to help (as bitye etc) is more than welcome!I would try to answer as soon as I can in any compile question/problem etc.

Maybe I can rename the github account also, to be more generic than tas0s :P

Hi its a nice ROM but:

-sd must be fixed

-mac adress too

-camera too

-seems very laggy????? why it gets 5 mflops wich is more than eclair but its still very laggy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
It hasn't been fixed.The commit you mention is older than the thread.

When you are saying that you skipped part of the configuration,what did you mean? If you do the steps In the "how to build" post you shouldn't have problems.Before I made the thread I have tested the procedure 4 times ;)

just do the repo steps,then place a rom named u8120_update.zip in the directory and do sh /device/huawei/u8120/unzip-files.sh

then source build/envsetup.sh

lunch

select the device

and make

Probably in the weekend I will try to fix the remaining bugs.

For the mac address you can use this app setmacaddress

For the laggy behavior we could try a non engineering build.I will try to compile it today and I will upload it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bitye:
I used sudo su -, now chmodded all to 777 and try w/o root

sh /device/huawei/u8120/unzip-files.sh

This works for me only if I am in /workingdirectory/device/huawei/u8120/ and start script from there.

Can this cause any problems? maybe extract the files to bad place or something?

I always remove out directory before new compile, but no img files.

ENV setup completed, I followed the instructions. There is data-sys-system etc directories there but no img files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tas0s:
Yes the unzip-files.sh or extract-files is working only if you are in the /device/huawei/u8120 (open one of the scripts to see why).I must correct the how to post.

For a new compile I remove the out directory completely just for sure.

Hi Tas0o. Im now having the same wifi problem that the Kernel 2.9.32.9 as in wifi.

sometimes it gives error and doesn't connect. only with a phone reboot.

i did not install anything of previous froyo roms with titanium, all new install. maybe is some app i installed.

have you seen the galery 3d reaction and preview yet? its laggy and the previews are slow and not complete.

:) i will continue testing it
